I really want
To c my dad
But he only
Makes me mad

Kissing in the rain
Washes away the pain
Even if it's in the shower
That takes over an hour
The hot water will run out
Then cold water comes out the spout
And then kills the mood
So we move to the room
Things r heating up now
There's no turning back now
Let's keep the momentum going
Now that our juices r flowing

Co-vid
Inspired by Jolene by Dolly Parton
Co-vid! Co-vid!
Co-vid! Co-vid!
We're beggin' of you please don't take our health!
Co-vid! Co-vid!
Co-vid! Co-vid!
We're beggin' of you please don't take our wealth!
Your symptoms come n a disguise
The media spreading all your lies
W/ scare tactics & fear mongering
Your gift to us makes us all cuss
We can't b who we were once
And we cannot compete with u
Co-vid
We dream about u n nightmares
U r on the news, u're everywhere
There's no escaping u @ all
Co-vid
But we can't easily understand
How you can take women & men
But u don't know what they mean 2 us
Co-vid
Co-vid! Co-vid!
Co-vid! Co-vid!
We're beggin' of you please don't take our health!
Co-vid! Co-vid!
Co-vid! Co-vid!
We're beggin' of you please don't take our wealth!
U could have your choice of homes
But we can't just go out & roam
Home's the only place 4 us
Co-vid
I had to write this song to u
Our very lives depend on u
And whatever u sent our way next
Co-vid
Co-vid! Co-vid!
Co-vid! Co-vid!
We're beggin' of you please don't take our health!
Co-vid! Co-vid!
Co-vid! Co-vid!
We're beggin' of you please don't take our wealth!
Co-vid! Co-vid!

Covid-19
U r obscene
We once were free
But we couldn't see
U stole that
From us
Til we
Wanna cuss
We can't see
Our fam
And u don't
Give a ****
We can't see
Our friends
Will this
Pandemic end?
Some can't go
To work
U're just a
Big ****
Kids can't
Go to school
Now parents
Have to enforce rules

N response to another poet's poem
We too are essential
And get paid small
For the work we do
For travelers and all
To find place of rest
At our hotel
We're practically the only ones open
As u can tell
I'm also a caregiver
Keeping people healthy
Although with covid-19
Not many r wealthy
We're all n this 2gether
All over the world
Hopefully future changes come
Soon to the weather
Don't matter the color of skin
Black, white or brown
We're all stuck in
All over every town

We're 'spose 2 b locked down
But it don't look like it
But all over my town
Ppl r pitching fits
They cannot go c
Their own family
They cannot go do
What they intended to
They r stuck inside
W/ family they hate
W/ rules 2 abide
They can't go out on dates
They will get over it
(Not b4 they pitch a fit!)
Or they'll get a ticket
(And they can't afford it!)

People wear frowns
And they wear gowns
People wear face masks While doing tasks
Pretty soon they'll wear
Coverings for their shoes
Just like doctors
And surgeons do
People wear gloves
Afraid they'll get sick
Like God up above
Couldn't heal them that quick

For DSS to say

He's using the system
To benefit him
To brainwash them
Against me & William

"Boredom"
Inspired by: "Jolene" by Dolly Parton
https://youtu.be/Ixrje2rXLMA
Boredom! Boredom!
Boredom! Boredom!
Please give everyone something else to do!
Boredom! Boredom!
Boredom! Boredom!
Please before we go insane inside!
Your torture is beyond compare
U drive us to the brink w/ dares
W/ nothing left to do but stare around
Your smile is like evil disguised
Your voice telling all kinds of lies
And we've run out of things to do,
Boredom!
They talk about u on the news
You're streaming w/ the largest views
There's nowhere we can escape u
Boredom!
And I could easily understand
How you have need to recruit us
But you don't know what sanity is
Boredom!
Boredom! Boredom!
Boredom! Boredom!
Please give everyone something else to do!
Boredom! Boredom!
Boredom! Boredom!
Please before we go insane inside!
U could choose other planets
But u have chosen planet Earth
Seems we're the one for the job
Boredom!
I had 2 get this off my chest
So we can actually get some rest
I hope there is not another test
Boredom!
Boredom! Boredom!
Boredom! Boredom!
Please give everyone something else to do!
Boredom! Boredom!
Boredom! Boredom!
Please before we go insane inside!
Boredom! Boredom!
